According to Fanatik, Ruben Neves is considered the most secure transfer candidate for Galatasaray's midfield. Neves wants to return to European football to secure his place in the Portugal National Team before the World Cup. Galatasaray plans to submit an official offer to Al Hilal if Neves approves, and the club's management has allocated their highest budget for him. Because his contract is expiring, Al Hilal is not expected to set a high transfer fee. Neves's annual salary is 18.2 million Euro, which is considered very high, and Galatasaray aims to keep their initial offer reasonable.

It is reported that Galatasaray is looking for a new midfielder and is said to be in contact with Al Hilal player Rúben Neves. The 28-year-old Portugal international is reportedly eager to leave Saudi Arabia, and his contract expires at the end of the season. According to Portuguese journalists, Neves plans to return to Europe and is receptive to joining teams in the Champions League, with several Premier League clubs also linked with him.
